Hi! We're moving from Prefect to Prefect2.0. We would like to use our Gitlab repository as a storage for flows, as we used to with GitlabStorage in Prefect1.0. I'm trying to use RemoteFileSystem

from prefect.filesystems import RemoteFileSystem
gitlab_block = RemoteFileSystem(
        basepath='<git://path/to/repo>',
        settings={
        'key': "GITLAB_USER",
        'secret': "GITLAB_TOKEN"})
gitlab_block.save('flows_repo')

This leaves me with

prefect.exceptions.PrefectHTTPStatusError: Client error '422 Unprocessable Entity' for url '<http://ephemeral-orion/api/block_documents/>'

I might be misusing RemoteFileSystem something fierce, could you please guide me in the right direction? Big thanks!

I answered the same here https://prefect-community.slack.com/archives/CL09KU1K7/p1659950490336309?thread_ts=1659949297.864229&cid=CL09KU1K7

I guess, the question was a bit different. Git supports

fsspec

protocol. How to use

RemoteFileSystem

, that implements

fsspec

, to access flows stored in Git?

Git is version control system, not a storage system - at least that's how I view this. We may consider adding this as storage block but this is not in scope at the moment. I would encourage you to leverage Git to trigger a CI/CD pipeline that will then deploy your code eg to S3
